Dual wielding anything longer than sai has always been intimidating to me, but I decided I don’t want that to be the case (pun not intended) anymore. That being said, this is going to take a lot of repetition and drilling and it’s not easy dopamine. Plus establishing new routines is a challenge, likely due to my ADHD. Harass me into living my best Daredevil/Drizzt Do’Urden/Spartacus life.

Tutorials I used were from the excellent @sifubriankuttel 

Big thanks to @kfp_quest for giving loads of feedback each day

And more thank yous @sosayweall_photography for pushing me to share this footage. I wasn’t going to because I’m a perfectionist, which is why I hardly share anything re: practice, but I’m working to get over it.

Clips from a most excellent photoshoot with @emmastonephoto who also provided this amazing spider web catsuit from her studio 🕷️🕸️
On this day 3 years ago, a HEMA instructor handed me their @regenyeiarmory flamberge and told me to just flow with it and have fun. This is live footage of me getting addicted to the doppelsöldner life 🗡️🦚 Still haven’t been able to acquire my own zweihänder yet, but one day.

The club I’m training with here is SPIFF in Stockholm. This crew is excellent and if you ever have the chance to train with them, do it. They are one of the main reasons I wish could teleport. If any of you are seeing this, I miss you all very very much.
